What's on line now:

REVTeX is a collection of LaTeX macros. It was created by the American Physical Society, American Institute of Physics and Optical Society of America to facilitate the publishing of their journals. It is maintained by American Physical Society. REVTeX is popular among scientists who submit papers to journals published by these 3 organizations. A few other scientific journals also accept REVTeX-formatted manuscripts for electronic publishing. REVTeX v3.1 was released in September 1996 and version v4.0 was released in August 2001. However version 4 is not backward compatible with version 3. Originally REVTeX was designed to be similar to American Astronomical Society's AASTeX.

Proposed:

REVTeX is a collection of LaTeX macros which is generally distributed with auxiliary files and a user support guide as part of a REVTeX toolbox. REVTeX is popular among scientists who submit papers to journals published by the American Physical Society (APS), the American Institute of Physics, and The American Optical Society. REVTeX is accepted by a few other technical publishers as well. REVTex was created by the American Physical Society to support authors in the editorial review process and to facilitate the production of journals. Subsequent to REVTeX's original release, and APS' success in this electronic publishing program, a collaborative effort of the APS, the American Institute of Physics, and the American Optical Society resulted in a REVTeX release that was usable by scientists who submit to all three organizations.

REVTeX is maintained by the APS.
